    My 4 year old daughter loves hers - we bought it and put it onto dvd - its a wonder shes not worn it out!
  • I did this for my 4 year old and 7 year old last. They were mesmerised :-) The great thing is you can taylor the message accordingly (4 year old is a nightmare brushing his teeth, se got "Santa" to say he needs to make more of en effort and I swear he hasn't stopped brishing them today. I asked him earlier why he's brushing his teeth again and he replied "because I really want a Mobigo" lol!!!).

    I did an adult one for my colleague too, and he was very amused by it :-)

    I soent ages doing one the other day and the error messages kept on coming up. Maybe time to give it another go.
  • i did it for my 2 this evening. One thing i noticed, which i have now worked out why, is that it used my sons name about 5 times, but only said my daughters name once. This is because of the way I input the names, my son is called Evan and this was recognised, but i put my daughters name in as Lizzie and not Elizabeth so it didn't recognise it. They loved it none the less, it didn't spoil it for Lizzie, it was me that noticed it rather than her!!!
    Life is like a box of chocolates..........you always seem to pick the hard ones!

    I sent one to my (27 year old!) sister, Philippa - it didn't even say her name once, which was a shame. Still an amazingly clever suprise though, so thanks to OP for posting
  • Thanks for this. My 64 year old hubby loved his message.Sent one to my friend as well, she loves Christmas and will be well pleased to receive a message from Santa even though she's 70, lol.My daughter in law will do them for grandsons tomorrow.

    Absolutely brilliant - I sent messages to various people in my office and they loved them!
  • Is it meant to be sent to your e-mail address cos hubby not received anything? He only saw the preview when I set it up last night.
